Tell the people that are working those 2 jobs and doing all they can to try to make it that they are feeling sorry for themselves and should move to where the jobs are, or go to school.
Seriously Ace, your not showing anything except to blame the worker for everything.

I am not sure what the problem is. Either I am not communicating clearly or you are not able to objectively understand what I write.
I have never blamed any worker for the loss of jobs. However, the loss of jobs happens.
I agree that the loss of good jobs is devistating to people and communities.
I also have the view that "big business" doesn't care and has no responsiblity to take care of me and my family if my job is eleminated. I do support short-term legal obligations like COBRA, unemployment compensation, etc.
Given my view - if an employee gets complacent and starts to believe the corporate propaganda ("we are a family" "we care about our employees", "our employees are our #1 asset", etc, etc.) it is a mistake. A big mistake.
Given that I believe it is the responsibility of every working person to take a proactive role in their future and the security of their family.
How do we do that???
Savings
Education
Training
Owning assets
Living below our means
Networking
"Realize it is never too late to take control" - Zig Ziggler
Reading company financials
and
being prepared to move if needed.
You seem to disagree with me. I don't understand why.
I am going to ask my wife (much more liberal and compasionate than I) to read what we have written on this subject to see if I have not been clear. Perhaps you can have someone do the same - and we can come back compare notes.
